Abstract

Disclosed is a wave-power generation system. The system includes a stationary frame, a float structure installed to the stationary frame, a rotary shaft coupled to a generator and rotatably installed to the stationary frame, a rotary drive coupled to the rotary shaft of the generator via a one-way clutch, a three-node link rotatably installed at a point P of the stationary frame, a float installed to one end of the three-node link, a rope having one end coupled to the other end of the three-node link and the other end wound around the rotary drive, a flywheel installed to the rotary shaft, and a resiliently recovering member having one end coupled to the stationary frame and the other end coupled to the rotary drive.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wave-power generation system comprising: 
 a stationary frame; 
 a float structure installed to the stationary frame;  
   a rotary shaft coupled to a generator and rotatably installed to the stationary frame; 
 a rotary drive  9  coupled to the rotary shaft of the generator via a one-way clutch;  
 a three-node link rotatably installed at a point P of the stationary frame;  
 a float installed to one end of the three-node link;  
 a rope having one end coupled to the other end of the three-node link and the other end wound around the rotary drive;  
 a flywheel installed to the rotary shaft; and  
 a resiliently recovering member having one end coupled to the stationary frame and the other end coupled to the rotary drive.  
   
   
   
       2 . The wave-power generation system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a tension spring is provided between the rope and the three-node link.  
   
   
       3 . The wave-power generation system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the resiliently recovering member includes a tension spring and a spiral spring.  
   
   
       4 . The wave-power generation system as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the resiliently recovering member includes a tension spring and a spiral spring.  
   
   
       5 . The wave-power generation system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the wave-power generation system is installed to left and right sides of the rotary shaft, respectively.  
   
   
       6 . The wave-power generation system as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein at least two sets of the wave-power generation system are installed along the rotary shaft.  
   
   
       7 . The wave-power generation system as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein at least two wave-power generation systems are coupled along the rotary shaft via an overdriving apparatus and the one-way clutch.  
   
   
       8 . A wave-power generation system comprising: 
 a stationary frame;    a float structure installed to the stationary frame;    a rotary shaft coupled to a generator and rotatably installed to the stationary frame;    a rotary drive coupled to the rotary shaft of the generator via a one-way clutch;    a two-node link having one end fixed to the rotary drive;    a float installed to one end of the two-node link; and    a flywheel installed to the rotary shaft.    
   
   
       9 . The wave-power generation system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein a follower of the one-way clutch and a first intermediate gear are installed to a first rotating drive shaft installed to the stationary frame in a direction parallel with the rotary shaft of the generator, and the first intermediate gear meshes with a second gear installed to the rotary shaft of the generator, in which the first intermediate gear has a diameter larger than that of the second intermediate gear.  
   
   
       10 . The wave-power generation system as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein 
 a third intermediate gear is installed to an intermediate rotary shaft installed parallel with the rotary shaft of the generator, and the follower of the one-way clutch and a fourth intermediate gear are installed to a second rotating drive shaft installed to the stationary frame in a direction parallel with the rotary shaft of the generator, and the third intermediate gear meshes with the second intermediate gear and the fourth intermediate gear, in which the fourth intermediate gear has a diameter larger than that of the third intermediate gear.    
   
   
       11 . The wave-power generation system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein at least two sets of the wave-power generation system are installed along the rotary shaft.  
   
   
       12 . The wave-power generation system as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein at least two wave-power generation systems are coupled along the rotary shaft via an overdriving apparatus and the one-way clutch.  
   
   
       13 . A wave-power generation system comprising: 
 a first wave-power generation structure including    a rotary shaft of a generator rotatably installed to a stationary frame;    a rotary drive coupled to the rotary shaft of the generator via a one-way clutch;    a three-node link rotatably installed at a point P of the stationary frame;    a float installed to one end of the three-node link; and    a resiliently recovering member having one end coupled to the other end of the three-node link and the other end coupled to the rotary drive; and    a second wave-power generation structure including    a rotary drive coupled to the rotary shaft of the generator via a one-way clutch;    a two-node link having one end fixed to the rotary drive; and    a float installed to one end of the two-node link; and    a flywheel installed to the rotary shaft; and    wherein the wave-power generation structures are arranged along the rotary shaft of the generator,    a float structure is installed to the stationary frame, and    at least one flywheel is installed to the rotary shaft of the generator.
